List Best 19 Nail Salons in Manhattan, NY
03-2025 Raus nail studio in List Best 19 Nail Salons in Manhattan, NYAnna NYC Russian nails - New York Christina Francis Mansour: Anna has been doing my nails for years, and sheās amazing! Sheās professional, detail-oriented, and her workspace is always spotless. Whether I want a simple look or something more intricate, she always exceeds my expectations. Highly recommend!
Manhattan Nails Salon - New York Chelsea Hall: I paid $186 for these gel extensions including tip. The price when I booked was HALF the price and at the end the owner āsurprisedā me with that number, I asked her to explain it and she tried to shower me with compliments. I am not wealthy, this was a huge chunk of my paycheck, and just because I went in wearing my nice work clothes does not give you the right to rip someone off. Also, I went there two weeks ago for a gel set and one of the nails already popped off two weeks in- thatās why I went back. (Also, the thumb on the right hand of this set is crooked!) I got my nails done to help me feel confident visiting my dad who has leukemia. The lady who runs this place should be ashamed.
EDIT: the owner has responded as you can see below. My extensions were the same length as the ones I purchased the first time, which she told me were short. At no point during the appointment did she tell me I was going to be upcharged or charged differently than what I booked. On their website it says the soak off is included, which she clearly admitted to charging me for below. I will be reporting this business. Also, nowhere in my review did I mention my cuticles. And yes, the owner is correct for noting I have eczema. I am in no way blaming this business for me having eczema. The fact that the service took so long is because my nail technician was taking her time, shes clearly new at her job, which I dont fault her for. But as a client I should not be penalized for how slow the tech is. The owner also didnt ask me if I wanted to have the nails filled in, as she mentioned below-- I asked the tech for that, then the owner told me that I had to get a new set. Because I was naive, I believed her.

Xcellent Nail Salon - New York Tee Taylor: Iāve done my nails with multiple nail techs here but mostly Ivy, the salon manager. Firstly, I did notice over time that they cater only to white women, which seems to be their preferred clientele. Overall the employees look unhappy. You donāt get a warm greeting upon entering and the overall experience feels transactional. Ivy has always asked me to come way before my scheduled appointment time because their one hour slots are not enough time. You would think theyād stop booking clients this way. Sheās also asked me to book with her coworkers instead, my only guess is to save her availability for more āimportantā guests. She once gave my appointment slot away to a walk in customer, assuming I was the one without an appointment. Iāve also noticed that they always rush the soak off process by aggressively filing your natural nails until theyāre paper thin. During the service, if you ask them to fix or correct something, they become visibly annoyed or just flat out ignore you until you ask again. Another fact worth mentioning, is that the total at checkout has never been consistent even though Ive always gotten the same service(s) done.
With that being said, my last visit with Ivy was the straw that broke the camelās back. I made it clear that I was unhappy with the look (thick, lumpy texture, distorted shape) of my Gel X nails. Ivy admitted to applying āa lotā of layers of product which was extremely noticeable. I politely asked her to thin the layers out or fix the abnormal appearance but she refused. Instead she tried to blame it on several things, such as the chrome or the shape of the Gel-X, which Iād gotten countless times in the past. After she disregarded my concerns, I asked her to remove them because I was leaving town in the morning and would have to get them redone. She said sheād remove them but Iād still have to pay full price. It wasnāt until she saw that, regardless of her threat, I was still serious about removing her work, that she finally offered to fix the problem. After removing the 5 or 6 layers of polish and replacing it with just two coats, it turns out the problem wasnāt any of the reasons she mentioned. I didnāt end up with the nails I asked for but I was just glad they didnāt look ridiculous for my work trip in the morning.
On all of my previous visits, Iād always tip a minimum of 20%, regardless of never truly feeling valued as a customer here. On this day at checkout, I noticed there was an even bigger difference (at least $25) in price, which they claimed was for the chrome I had removed. I accepted their reasoning but decided not to tip. In the past, Iād barely get a good bye from Ivy but when she noticed I didnāt leave a tip, she came over to the checkout counter and demanded one in cash in front of her employees. I told her I did not have cash and attempted to explain my reasons for not tipping. Instead of having a professional conversation with me as the leader of her staff, Ivy just cut me off and told me to find another salon. Which only further confirmed the red flags I noticed up until that point and my desire not to return.
